Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

Chapter 5

Realizing she’d put her foot in it, Phedra quickly clapped a hand over her mouth “Never mind. Now that you’ve married into the Ramirez family, you must play by the rules. Look at yourself. What a mess!”

Letitia raised her hand to cover up. “I’ll go change right now”

“What an embarrassment. I can’t figure out what Elgin sees in you. Any darling daughter from AquaCity would be a step. up from you…”

Phedra said with disdain when suddenly a grey suit jacket was draped over Letitia’s shoulders.

A wave of warmth enveloped her, carrying a familiar scent.

“No matter what, she’s not embarrassing you,” Elgin pulled her into his arms. “Phedra, you’re sticking your nose too far

Letitia instinctively tried to pull away, worried about getting him wet or dirty.

But Elgin held on firmly, making her more anxious. What was wrong with him?

Seeing him, Phedra quickly put on a smile. “Elgin, I was just setting some boundaries for my daughter-in-law.”

“My rules are the only rules. Letitia doesn’t need to follow yours!”

Phedra’s smile froze on her face, and Letitia was even more stiff.

Letitia was uncomfortable, not daring to move. “Was that your mother?”

“Just a stepmother”

“Oh… Letitia replied, “You spoke up for me just now, and she must feel offended.”

Elgin answered indifferently. So what?” He could not care less

“She’s got no right to bully you.” Elgin’s lips barely moved. “In all the world, I’m the only one who gets to bully you.”

Letitia’s heart skipped a beat. Even the right to insult her was his alone but no one else’s.
